Families Camp Out at Veterans Park

TUPELO, Miss. (WCBI) — More than 65 campers set up their tents at Tupelo’s Veterans Park this weekend.

It was the fourth annual family campout, sponsored by the Tupelo Parks and Recreation Department.

Friday night they enjoyed throwing glow in the dark frisbees and they sat around the campfire together and cooked hotdogs and s’mores.

Participants told WCBI they liked the location.

“I think it was alot better because we kind of have other people from Tupelo here and we all kind of play together,” said Mark Harrington. “The kids met each other and we met other people here.”

“I like to hear the sounds of the birds and just look out every once in a while, “said 14-year-old Jenna Lutz. “I love the campfire times.”

The city says it wants to see this event grow every year.
